We have our eyes on some Irish fellas, apparently

Two leading Donegal gaelic footballers are heading down under for trials with an Aussie Rules club.

Eoghan 'Ban' Gallagher and Jason McGee are heading to Australia for trials with the Brisbane Lions.

Both players have come through the minor ranks and broken into the senior team.

McGee is also a former youth international in soccer for the Republic of Ireland.

A number of gaelic football players have been lured to Australia to play Aussie Rules, including Derry's Conor Glass, who made his debut for Hawthorn last month.

Brisbane Lions may try to woo Adelaide’s Charlie Cameron north during AFL trade period

ADELAIDE could be rocked by the departure of a third key player with Brisbane exploring ways to poach gun speedster Charlie Cameron in this year’s trade period.

Cameron, 22, has family ties in Brisbane and is open to a move to the Queensland club if a deal can be struck.

Bid for Crows defender ramps up

Money man Mitch seals Pies’ fate

Can Saints give Roo a finals farewell?

The Lions have been aware of Cameron’s family situation and are expected to try to entice Adelaide into a trade with a late first-round or early second round draft pick.

However, the Herald Sun understands Adelaide is prepared to block the move and keep Cameron to the final year of his contract next season.

Sources said the situation was at a standstill.

The premiership favourites are already grappling with the increasingly likely prospect that gun talls Mitch McGovern and Jake Lever will leave the club at season’s end.

Melbourne officials have met with Lever in a bid to thwart interest from Collingwood, Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn. Fremantle is chasing McGovern. The Crows do not want to lose Cameron as well.

The Crows have been criticised for “low-balling” their out of contract players but the club is believed to be paying close to 100 per cent of its salary cap.

Charlie Cameron has family ties to Brisbane. Picture Sarah Reed
Cameron, a damaging goal kicker, has become a key cog in Adelaide’s premiership tilt with his lightning speed and tenacious tackling pressure.

Cameron, who was originally drafted to the club on the rookie list, previously signed a contract to stay at West Lakes until the end of 2018.

If they keep Cameron, Adelaide may have to offer the gamebreaker a sweetened contract extension next season to help thwart another trade request home in 12 months time.

The contract situation has been met with surprise across the football industry with the Crows otherwise well-placed to win their first flag since back-to-back premierships in 1997-98.

Adelaide is $3.25 favourite to go all the way this year with TAB.

AFL champion Wayne Carey said he believed Adelaide had offered all three players attractive deals to stay.

Carey said the three in-demand young stars may want to leave the constant glare that exists in a two-team town such as Adelaide.

“Adelaide is a footy-crazy state,” Carey said. “Over there the attention on every individual (means) you can’t go anywhere or do anything because it (public focus) is all on two teams.

“Maybe that has a bit to do with it.”

Late first round pick? No thank you

 

[jackess]

Can we have all 3?

 

[Dylan12]

Such a classic Jay Clark article regurgitating information off of BigFooty and / or other journos having written about Cameron and without a single quote other than something taken off last night's footy programs.

If Jay Clark can be classified as an AFL journalist, I dare say we all can too.

 

[kenberger]

Can we have all 3?

Doubt they'd want to come to a two club state

Danger was under age (harder to project performance) and wanted to finish off high school.
IIRC Fyfe had some injury concerns (?) and was basically a stick.

Fyfe had bad shoulders and the pic shows just how skinny he was.

FWIW

Looks like a keyboard for the over 50's clique.

 

[Hollow Knight]

I don't understand the reference to Cam McCarthy?

Fremantle knew they would get McCarthy eventually so you may as well trade him this year because he'll definitely be leaving next year when his contract is up.

Ah. Cheers.

I think Noble is probably a bit classier than that.

 

[BrizzyBandit]

they are going to say
Trade us Charlie Cameron... or risk another Cam McCarthy situation where you try and force him to stay and it totally back fires.


Doh too slow

 

[Dalions]

I don't understand the reference to Cam McCarthy?

Me either - is he trying to say that if Adelaide say no then Cameron may spend a year out of the game with mental illness like McCarthy.

The future of restricted free agent Tom Rockliff remains clouded, with the Lions vice-captain telling AFL.com.au recently he would put his family first when deciding his post-2017 football home. The 27-year-old midfielder has been persistently linked to Adelaide and, to a lesser extent, Port Adelaide. With Rockliff expected to attract offers of at least $600,000 and up to $700,000 a season, the Lions would likely receive an end-of-first-round compensation pick, a return they might be happy to take. Adelaide midfielder Charlie Cameron is firmly on the Lions' radar, with the Queenslander keen to return to his home state. The Lions will have to pay a premium to convince the Crows to trade Cameron given he's contracted for 2018, but they will have a strong hand of draft picks that already includes their first selection (currently No.1) and Port Adelaide's first selection (No.14), and could include a Rockliff compensation pick. The Lions have also expressed interest in out-of-contract Giants midfielder Jacob Hopper. Rumours persist key forward Josh Schache could still find his way home to Victoria in the trade period despite re-signing with the Lions for two years in June. However, Schache and the club are adamant there is no substance to this.

Beat me to it Squizz89 , just came on to link that. What is it with these Schache rumors, surely zero in it. I hope the Jacob Hopper stuff is correct though.

Schache just signed but apparently Richmond are still trying to woo him back to Victoria according to Brian Waldron and he's Northern Spy on SEN perhaps they picked that up from there would be interesting if the Lions don't see Hipwood Schache and Ballenden all fitting in the same forward line it does give Lions a strong hand if they did try to trade him

Surely if you say something as ridiculous as that Schache rumour you actually back it up with a reason why he'd still want to get to Victoria.

Outside of Martin, Rance or Rioli what do they have that we want?

They are going to finish high up the table (before failing dismally in the finals). I think it's just crap, why sign and then put your hand up to be traded where you could well be the next vickery. Makes no sense.

Mitch Robinson for a guy that came to this club with a poor reputation, on his last chance and many didn't want him....he's been so good for us on and off the field.

Can be more than just a 2 way deal. In my mind, there was little doubt that Schache wanted to go back to Victoria however the planets didn't align and a deal couldn't be struck. NOW that the cards are in the hands of Noble & Co, maybe there is some more interest in getting an exciting deal done that makes everyone happy. Maybe. I don't think its all crap.

 

[Squizz89]

Can you trade a player in the same year you have re-signed him? dlanod thought you may know?

 

[shachattack]

Time to re-open the Schache thread....
